Eating meat is morally equivalent to killing a lion?

Oh, come on!

Hubski mocks your moral reasoning! And provides the proof!

1. Lions are a different species than chickens, duh!

2. He didn't eat the lion! Chicken tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood.

3. I heard a talk radio idiot make the same argument!

4. The author is taking advantage of a popular story to promote an agenda! That's an outrage!

Got more?

"The priest tells them..."

    It seems to me that you only pardon the sins that you don’t really think sinful. You only forgive criminals when they commit what you don’t regard as crimes, but rather as conventions. You forgive a conventional duel just as you forgive a conventional divorce. You forgive because there isn’t anything to be forgiven.

Yeah, I'm kind of on board with this. The major difference being that chickens are killed for food, whereas this lion was killed for fun by a douchebag.

Its not about eating meat as it is about treatment. Is torturing thousands of chickens their whole lives less immoral than killing one lion?
